Marcus Rashford has reportedly seen three deals withdrawn from him as a result of his struggles at Manchester United.
The forward left United to go on loan to Aston Villa during the transfer window after missing out on an England spot in the Euros squad last summer due to difficult times over the past two seasons.
Rashford reportedly parted ways with Burberry, Levi’s, and Beats around that period after having a connection to the companies when he was at the top of his game.
His transfer to Villa Park may now prove to be expensive in terms of sponsorship. Rashford’s deal with Nike may see his paycheck cut after moving to Villa Park, on top of his already diminished income due to a lack of goals and appearances.

According to the Mail as reported by The Mirror, Rashford’s contract will change as a result of joining the Champions League contenders. Villa are in a lower band, while United are in category A. The compensation for each category is reduced by 50%.
While at United, the forward could have made almost £1.5 million annually, including bonuses, with the American sports wear giants.
However, that amount may fall as low as £50,000, and Nike are reportedly allowed to lower his base pay in addition to recouping a portion of the 2021 signing-on fee.
Rashford’s absence of England involvement since March last year may also see his salary package cut by up to another 25 per cent. The 27-year-old inked a seven-year agreement with Nike in 2021.
